First hour! Introduce yourselves and your fic. What are your writing goals this weekend? Feel free to say hi to each other and stuff like that.

Then start writing!

My goal is to write my help_haiti fic. It's Doctor Who, and I'm still mentally debating a couple of the prompts the winner sent me. One is Martha/Master, which I have no idea how to write it but it sounds really shiny and fun. It's due in a few days and a lot of writers have already posted theirs.

After that I'm not really sure what I plan to write. Probably more Elder Scrolls stuff. (I kind of abandoned The Many Daughters of Divayth Fyr midway through, and my epic on the great dunmer houses during the Oblivion Invasion is still a mere collection of notes.)

Congratulations on raising money for Haiti! Martha/Master sounds challenging, but I bet you can do it!

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D It's great to be able to do something to help. I hope you're right and this works.

Ooh, you did help_haiti too!

(I actually have a deadline extension on mine, due to the aforementioned - or maybe after-mentioned, this threading thing is confusing - actor death throwing me off my game. But maybe, just possibly, I won't need it.)

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Actor death. That really sucks. *hugs*

(My deadline is actually the 11th instead of the 14th, because after that I'll be at a convention.)

(Thanks for the hugs!)

Hello! I probably won't be able to join in until tomorrow morning, but I wanted to say hi right at the start and wish everyone a happy fic_rush!

When I do join in, my goal is to WRITE. I have 10 Doctor Who prompts ready and waiting to go, and I plan to write as many of them as possible. Obviously this means that most of the fics will be fairly short, but if I don't get to them all because one has turned into a longer story, then that's great too!

I've had vacationing muses for awhile now, so I am planning to turn off all worries about whether the writing is any good and just seeing how many of those 10 prompts I can do.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Case in point: something went wrong with the grammar in that last sentence, but I will resist fixing it. However, I won't resist saying that I realize something went wrong. : )

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Any plan that results in up to 10 Doctor Who fics is, in my opinion, a great plan. See you again tomorrow morning, then. :)

*rushes in*

Hi! I didn't officially sign up, but I've been eying this for a while. I have to grab dinner real quick, but then I'm in! My goal is to finish up my HP Hermione/Sirius smuttyfic, Silence Speaks (http://pelespen.livejournal.com/tag/silence%20speaks) (it will be NC-17, so be warned).

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, a new person. Welcome to fic_rush!

[summerstorm.livejournal.com]

Oh, I totally forgot there was a fic_rush round this weekend! Really useful for me right now, actually. Writing goals: write the two ficlets I owe people from, uh, the first help_haiti lightning round (one of them confirmed their donation late; the other one just gave me so many awesome prompts it took me ages to choose, and I still want to write two of them), and another ficlet I owe somebody else for a different charity auction where they won me months ago. Those are all American Idol RPF, Adam/Kris/Katy and Adam/Kris.

I also want to finish the outline for a story I so should not be working on (RPF, John Mayer/Taylor Swift). I'm halfway through it right now.

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Awesome, three charity fics. I think that means you're three times as good a person as me. Go you! :D

[zippitgood.livejournal.com]

Hi! I've been watching fic_rush for a while now but haven't been able to participate due to bad timing. (Though I should be studying for math and physics tests this weekend instead of writing....) I'm going to try and balance the two this weekend.

I plan to work on my au_bigbang because I'm woefully behind on the word count. Also on the table are some personal requests from a meme I posted in my journal and if I get those done then whatever else I have backlogged.

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Pfft, studying.

Welcome to fic rush! I'm glad we managed to pick a weekend that works for you this time. Good luck on your big bang & ficlets & studying.

Evening, I shall be writing (epic) Merlin fic this weekend. (Because, you know, when you're running a finishathon, its helpful if you actually finish something yourself too...)

Unless of course the Dr Who plot bunnies that have been attacking me all week eat me first...

[zippitgood.livejournal.com]

What's this finishathon you speak of? I dearly need something like that in my life.

[glinda-penguin.livejournal.com]

Tis over at (http://camelot-fleet.dreamwidth.org/profile)camelot_fleet (http://camelot-fleet.dreamwidth.org/), but it finishes on Sunday (hence the panic-filled last minute writing)... :(

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

I, too, wish to know of this finishathon. Also the Merlin epic, because I've actually seen the show now. (Midnight will never be the same again.)

[glinda-penguin.livejournal.com]

Hee you've seen Merlin! (Midnight really won't be the same) I'm writing epic Morgana & Gwen on a quest fic apparently (so far I've written 68 words, the finishathon's vague deadline is...Sunday...*runs around panicing*)

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

In about 20 years, I want that kid to play the Doctor.

I will not do scary things like compare the daily wordcount you need to achieve to that of NaNoWriMo.

[zippitgood.livejournal.com]

I found the comm. It's camelot_fleet where Merlin fans come to finish their stuff. I'm sad it's one fandom specific.

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

There's a simple solution to that, which is for us to drop all our other projects and start writing Merlin.

ficfinishing might be of interest to you. It has a fandom list yours has to be on, but it's a long and ever-growing list.

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot fic_rush started tonight!

(But it comes at exactly the right time - I mean exactly. I'm just now getting back into a fic-writing mood; Pernell Roberts, aka Adam Cartwright on Bonanza, died two weeks ago and I haven't written anything since I heard except a tribute piece.)

Um. Anyway. Sorry to be a downer on the post. My point is: I have lots of prompts to write!

I'm hoping to concentrate on my help_haiti fic. Which is for clocketpatch, so I might not mention too many of the details... but it's a Doctor Who/X-Men crossover, and it's rather cracky.

I also might try to write a TARDIS POV piece for halfamoon, which is "a two-week celebration of female characters in fandom". And they specificially said sentient female spaceships are allowed. (I just have to keep her from eyeing up Three's, um, posterior too blatantly... I have weird ficcing problems.)

Then I have:
* a Doctor Who/MacGyver/Gilligan's Island crossover, which may or may not include Man From UNCLE at some point;
* a possible "Three meets a school group on a field trip" fic for primsong;
* a Sapphire & Steel/Three Investigators crossover which kind of has no plot at the moment and I really wonder if anyone will even know what I'm talking about anyway. But I want it to happen.
* Or that TARDIS POV fic might turn into a set of drabbles celebrating female spaceships... or female vehicles in general... I has vehicle love. In many fandoms.

And various other things.

(Now that I've spent most of the first hour writing my intro post...)

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Dude, I almost forgot. There's a postit note on my bedroom door just to make sure I would actually be here to post this.

I like how half of us are doing help_haiti. And TARDIS fic! The conspiracy lives on!

*ahem*

So have you seen Farscape? Because that last idea of yours, it makes me think of Moya.

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't seen Farscape. But I have a deep and abiding love for the Millennium Falcon. (Also for the "Batman Begins" Batmobile - did you know the one used for filming could actually do in reality everything we see it do onscreen? I think they faked the waterfall jump for safety, but they didn't have to... yes, I have a serious vehicle!crush on her.)

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

The ship on Farscape is not only called sentient, she's written as a character with her own opinions on the situation. At one point she has a son (making her actually female in a literal sense), who's kind of a gothy angsty young man, and then the two of them have this turbulent relationship for a couple of seasons.

Also there are puppet aliens.


That is really cool about the Batmobile. Especially since the Batmobile is the one thing I really remember about Batman Begins. The rest of the movie was okay, but the chase scenes were awesome.
